Chapter 57: What’s the Matter With the Face?
“Umm…”
Why did she rush out here only to be taken advantage of?
No matter what Dan Hanjie did, she kept her mouth shut.
“Ouch!” Qin Youxuan quickly pushed him away and covered her mouth. “Are you sick!? Why did you call me out here just to bite me?”
Qin Youxuan’s annoyed little face puffed up like a toad and her defiant cat eyes widened even more. She wished she could pounce on him and bite back.
But she didn’t have the courage…
Since knowing the man in front of her, Qin Youxuan’s self-perceived pride automatically dimmed.
Don’t want to die? Then stay away from Dan Hanjie. This is a universally accepted fact in the industry.
To offend Mr. Jie, death would be deemed the easiest punishment. Rumor has it that his favorite thing is to watch his enemies suffer a life worse than death. His methods are ruthless and provoke outrage.
Those who don’t know him think he’s just a businessman, but those who know him know he’s a real devil.
“Big Devil” is the label Qin Youxuan gave him, always reminding herself to keep a respectful distance…
But somehow, even though she’s reminded herself to stay well away from him, he always manages to find her.
“What’s wrong with your face?” Dan Hanjie squinted his dangerous eyes, propped himself up, and looked at Qin Youxuan’s noticeably asymmetrical face. A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
“Huh?”
Qin Youxuan sat up and put a hand on her left face, “Hiss–”
It still hurt a bit.
The slap she received in the morning was quite heavy. She was too angry at the time, and didn’t think to apply ice. She sulked in bed all day, which made the swelling even worse.
She didn’t expect this man to notice it right away.
“Are you blind? Can’t you see it’s a handprint? I got hit!” Qin Youxuan’s tone was lighthearted as she casually shrugged.
“Who dares to hit you!” Dan Hanjie gripped her face, forcing her to look at him. His hold on her chin was heavy and an ominous aura instantly hung over him.
Qin Youxuan was taken aback for a moment before realizing he seemed genuinely angry, leaving her slightly disoriented.
Why would he be angry that she got hit?
Although it was inexplicable, seeing someone willing to stand up for her in this way strangely touched Qin Youxuan.
The anger from being forcibly kissed earlier even seemed to fade a little.
She replied awkwardly, “I talked back to my father and got slapped. It’s very common.”
She spoke lightly, but the sadness was evident in her eyes.
Knowing this young woman’s proud personality, Dan Hanjie didn’t expose her pretense. He only narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
“Because of Jin Chenye?”
It seems he knew much about her family matters.
Knowing so much, it was clear Mr. Jie was quite committed to pressuring her into accepting his support!
“Answer me!”
No one ever dared to ignore him, especially not a woman.
Seeing her casually ignoring him, Dan Hanjie was instantly irked.
